March Book 1

"March is a vivid first-hand account of
John Lewis’ lifelong struggle for civil and human rights, meditating in
the modern age on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and
segregation. Rooted in Lewis’ personal story, it also reflects on the
highs and lows of the broader civil rights movement.

Book One
spans John Lewis’ youth in rural Alabama, his life-changing meeting
with Martin Luther King, Jr., the birth of the Nashville Student
Movement, and their battle to tear down segregation through nonviolent
lunch counter sit-ins, building to a stunning climax on the steps of
City Hall.

Many years ago, John Lewis and other student
activists drew inspiration from the 1958 comic book "Martin Luther King
and the Montgomery Story." Now, his own comics bring those days to life
for a new audience, testifying to a movement whose echoes will be heard
for generations."
